MEXICO CITY, June 18 (Reuters) - Mexican real estate
investment trust Fibra Next is reviving its plans to go public
and aims to raise 8 billion pesos ($422 million) in the offer,
documents released late on Tuesday show.
WHY IT'S IMPORTANT
The IPO signals renewed confidence in Mexico's REIT market after
regulatory delays last year stalled Fibra Next's debut on the
stock exchange.
BY THE NUMBERS
Fibra Next plans to issue 80 million Real Estate Trust
Certificates (CBFIs) at an offering price of 100 pesos each.
Including overallotment and additional issuance options, the
offering could reach 110.4 million certificates.
CONTEXT
Fibra Next was created with industrial assets from Fibra Uno
, Mexico's largest real estate investment trust.
REITs in Mexico, known as "fibras," operate similarly to U.S.
REITs, offering returns from rental income and capital gains on
property portfolios. Fibra Next's IPO was delayed in late 2023
due to a lack of "confirmation of judgment" from the tax
authorities.
WHAT'S NEXT
The IPO is scheduled for later this year, according to the
preliminary prospectus released through Mexico's main stock
exchange.
